Education
IIT Gandhinagar offers a unique undergraduate and graduate education experience in India with unmatched innovations in curriculum. We take pride in our student-centric philosophy resulting in a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for students. The institute promotes critical thinking and an appreciation of the interdisciplinary character of knowledge, with an emphasis on the liberal arts, project oriented learning, compulsory courses in design and the life sciences, diversity and globalization.
The five-week Foundation Programme for all new undergraduate students was recognized with the World Education Award 2013 by the World Education Summit for innovations in engineering education. Over 40% of our students undergo a study abroad experience during their academic career with us. We are committed to promoting excellence in science, technology, as well as the humanities and social sciences and to the development of rounded and nuanced minds.

Research
IIT Gandhinagar encourages interdisciplinarity in its research activities. We have interdisciplinary centres where people from all disciplines work together to produce research and solve real-world problems that have a high impact on society. Our centre for biomedical engineering, for instance, is developing Automated Rehabilitation and Prosthetic Techniques where individuals from the field of robotics, medical and electronics are working together. More than 35 funding agencies have funded our research.
Our researchers include faculty members, visiting scholars, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students. They collaborate with colleagues across the Institute, at affiliated institutions, and at other research institutions. We aim to bring IIT Gandhinagar, as an institution for higher learning in science, technology, and Humanities which aspires to develop top-notch scientists, engineers, leaders, and entrepreneurs to meet the needs of the society.

Outreach
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar believes in being an involved member of the community and a good neighbour. It believes in engaging with the community of which it is a part. Our presence should have a positive impact not only on those who are formally part of the Institute, but also on those who surround us, and whose lives are affected by the presence of the Institute. As educators, we will like to pursue means to bridge the knowledge and communication gaps that exist between the privileged and the underprivileged.
IITGN is constantly engaged with and actively contributing to the local community, through formal and informal initiatives, outreach activities, and educational engagement. Our initiatives include NYASA (supporting and providing educational opportunities to the children of migrant construction workers) and NEEV (empower grassroots communities through workforce development, with a focus on entrepreneurship and skills training).
An Award-Winning Campus
IIT Gandhinagar was founded in 2008 and is located in Palaj, Gandhinagar, Gujarat on the banks of river Sabarmati.
